Lacked wash cloths and they had sprayed the most intense cinnamon odor that I had to keep all windows and doors open several hours just to be able to breathe! Atwood staff: Many people are highly allergic to oils, sprays and other chemical odors! Please be cognizant in your choice of “ eco and health friendly” cleaning supplies!! However the room and upkeep excellent and comfortable.
